Behind the scenes Blueberry Scones. We say this quite often, but everything we do involves numerous steps and labor. This series showcases what happens after the scone dough is mixed. From portioning the dough to breaking it to placing it onto baking sheets, that happens before the baking, bagging, and labeling. That also means there are a lot of people we rely on to make these scones including for our labels, food distributors for ingredients, etc. Every scone we make involves a complex network of so many factors - it’s pretty amazing to consider 📸:

Getting up close with black pudding!

We shared our blog post about black pudding's history (https://ackroydsbakery.com/blogs/authentically-ackroyds/a-short-history-of-black-pudding) last week. Black pudding certainly has historical significance. We are hopeful that black pudding continues to be delicacy for many years to come.

As you can see from this photo collection, our entire process is by hand. From hand mixing to hand stuffing to placing the puddings into the boiler, black pudding is a labor of love.

We produce 100s of pounds of black pudding each year. Black pudding is often viewed unfavorably due to its ingredients, but it is a historically significant delicacy. Please read all about black pudding and check out some photos of Megan making black pudding.

Of all of the food we make at Ackroyd's Bakery, black pudding is likely the one with the most storied (and infamous) history. Black pudding shows up in texts as early as 800 BC. In Book 18 of Homer's Odyssey, "Listen to me... there are some goats' paunches down at the fire, which we have filled with...

"A Short History of Scones," was written a few years back. Much to our delight, we recently learned that it is one of the most popular blog posts we've published.

Since making the move to Goldbelly, scones have quickly become one of our most popular items for our shipping customers. For local customers, Westborn Market & DeVries & Company 1887 have been an incredible partners and stock our scones regularly (if you don't want to drive to Redford). Local customers can also purchase scones directly from us and receive 20% their pickup order by using coupon code PICKUP20.

Thanks for loving our scones!

Though it isn't certain, many believe that scones originated in Scotland in the 16th century. Scones can be traced back to another "quick bread," called bannocks. Bannocks are an oat based flatbread that is often cooked on a griddle and cut into farls. Farls refer to the quadrant shape, or basically...

After lots of research & development, we've started making all butter puff pastry for all of our puff pastry baked goods like sausage rolls, pork pies, steak & onion pies, and more. This puff pastry is lighter & flakier than our previous version. We believe the taste is superior, too!

All butter puff pastry has replaced the previous version in all baked goods going forward. We hope you love it.

A lot happens behind the scenes in small business. We are happy, and oftentimes excited, to show our processes and offer some insight in to how we operate. One thing should be made abundantly clear - we do not take any decision that impacts our business lightly. We will agonize over the most inconse...

As you likely know, all of our baked goods are made by hand and with the utmost attention to detail. Not only that, but we are regularly improving items to ensure they’re the highest quality item we can produce.

These photos show our Bakewell Tarts from beginning to end (we did not get photos of the cake batter being made but we make that in house as well).

We recently started buying from a different local distributor that carries smaller tart shells that are more in line with shells that we used press by hand. This means Bakewell Tarts are smaller & have a better cake/jam/icing ratio. Also, these shells are vegetarian, meaning they no longer contain lard.

We absolutely adore these Bakewell Tarts and think you will too! They’re available for both nationwide shipping through Goldbelly & curbside pickup.
